Authorities are still investigating a deadly sanitation truck crash that caused massive traffic jams in North Carolina.
Multiple media outlets report Saturday that a temporary worker driving a Charlotte yard waste truck lost control while turning right off of Billy Graham Parkway Friday afternoon.
The truck crushed a sports utility vehicle with four people inside.
Authorities say 70-year-old Robert William Stark of West End died at the scene. Two others were rescued within minutes, and nearly 50 firefighters worked for 80 minutes to free the fourth person inside the SUV.
Francis Stark, Erik Stark and Florence Dubois were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
The truck driver, 43-year-old Malaki Yaaqob Ysrayl, was also treated at a hospital.
